Description

Believed to have been built approximately 30 years ago, 6 St Johns Way is a modern, semi-detached house located in the centre of the village of Metfield that enjoys a lovely position overlooking the playing fields. Whilst the property has been let in recent years, the vendors have maintained it to a good standard and have recently redecorated and recarpeted in areas. 

A driveway to the front of the property leads to a pair of side hung white gates that open into the carport. From here there is the front door which opens into the 13’3 sitting room with window overlooking the playing fields and staircase rising to the first floor landing. To the rear of the property is a kitchen/dining room, which benefits from tiled flooring throughout and is fitted with a matching range of units with wood effect worksurfaces. There are also a number of integrated appliances fitted including a slimline dishwasher, fridge freezer, electric oven and hob together with recess and plumbing for a washing machine. The kitchen also accommodates the wall mounted oil-fired boiler. A window overlooks the rear garden and fully glazed French doors open onto the patio area, and provide plenty of light. 

The staircase from the sitting room rises to the landing which offers access to the two bedrooms and the bathroom. The principal bedroom measures approximately 10’7 and benefits from a large built-in wardrobe cupboard together with a window on the front elevation that enjoys views across the playing fields. The second bedroom is approximately 11’4 and overlooks the garden at the rear, whilst the bathroom offers a bath with electric mixer shower over, WC and handwash basin.
